I’m all for synthetic wombs to replace surrogate labor (assuming we can identify and fully replicate the important parts of the experience). The real problem is the 18-year 24/7 startup that’s always on the brink of failing. We need robots or tribes. The nuclear family is busted.

Disparities in economic success between men and women are far larger once marriage+children enter the picture. Synthetic wombs would remove the high burden of pregnancy, significantly reducing the inequality. vox.com/2018/2/19/1701

You don't think that this might have a massive emotional and psychological impact on how mothers relate to their children when they just pop out of a robot in the corner 9 months later instead of literally being carried in the womb for 9 months with the mother experiencing that?

there's something to be said for Proof of Work -- women bear the burden of childbearing, while the male toils to feed them. but now the govt gives out food stamps rendering the father obsolete. if dad doesn't have to do his part, why should mom? F it, bring on synthetic wombs
